SQLite on macOS

The SQLite client for Mac

A native Mac app for SQLite, with an AI co-pilot. Open a database file, browse it, edit it, and query it in plain English, including encrypted SQLite.

FluentDB exploring a SQLite database on macOS

SQLite lives in a file, and FluentDB makes that file easy to work with on your Mac. Open any .sqlite or .db file, browse its tables and schema, and edit rows directly, with no server to configure. It is a fast, native SQLite browser and editor in one.

Because SQLite is everywhere, from mobile apps to local development, FluentDB adds an AI co-pilot that turns plain English into SQL against your file's real schema. It also opens encrypted SQLite databases with ChaCha20 and SQLCipher, which most Mac clients cannot.

A SQLite client that does the work with you

AI co-pilot for SQLite

Ask in plain English and get SQL that references the real tables in your SQLite file.

Open any SQLite file

Point FluentDB at a .sqlite or .db file and start browsing instantly, no server needed.

Encrypted SQLite

Open ChaCha20 and SQLCipher encrypted databases with your key.

Inline data editing

Edit and insert rows and write them straight back to the file.

Schema-aware editor

Autocomplete from your SQLite schema, with highlighting and one-key formatting.

Built-in charts

Turn a query over your SQLite data into a chart without leaving the app.

Built for SQLite, down to the details

FluentDB speaks SQLite natively. Here is some of what that looks like in practice.

SQLite-aware autocomplete
Suggests functions like strftime, json_valid, printf, and unixepoch.
Open encrypted databases
Reads SQLCipher and other encrypted SQLite files, with the key applied safely, never through SQL.
Edit tables without a primary key
SQLite rowid keeps every table editable, and an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY is detected correctly.
Allowed-value dropdowns
CHECK constraints are read straight from your schema to power value dropdowns.
Strong read-only mode
Files can be opened truly read-only, so the engine refuses every write.
Cancel a query instantly
Interrupt a running query the moment you need to.
No server, no setup
SQLite is a single file. No host, no credentials, just open it.
Predictable type handling
Uses your declared column types, so editing behaves the way you expect.
AI-first

The SQLite client built for the AI era

Other SQLite browsers stop at showing you tables. FluentDB starts with AI. Open a .sqlite file and ask a question in plain English. It reads the file's schema and writes SQL that runs against your real data, so answers come faster.

Ask anything

Ask, and see it drawn as a chart

Pose a question and FluentDB builds the query, runs it over your SQLite file, and renders the result as a chart. Move between donut, line, and table views freely, and get a feel for the data without leaving the app.

Browse and edit

Browse and edit your SQLite file with ease

A responsive grid that makes file editing painless. Scroll through records, edit values inline, queue up inserts and deletes, and pop open a row to review every column. Fast, tidy, and unobtrusive.

Refine with AI

Refine your SQL with AI at your side

The assistant does not disappear after the first query. Ask it to add a filter, adjust a join, or explain a statement, and it updates the SQL in place. Keep nudging until the query fits your file.
